| Abstract | Spastin, an ATPase belonging to the AAA family of proteins is most commonly mutated in autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP). Spastin is a multifaceted protein with versatile role in cellular events, principally involved in microtubule dynamics. To gain further insight into the molecular function of spastin, we used the yeast two-hybrid approach to identify novel interacting partners of spastin. Using spastin as bait, we identified reticulon 1 (RTN1) and reticulon 3 (RTN3) as potential spastin interacting proteins. RTN1 and RTN3 belong to the reticulon (RTN) gene family, which are primarily expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum. Moreover, RTN1 is known to play a role in vesicular transport processes. Using in vitro and in vivo immunoprecipitation experiments, we were able to demonstrate that RTN1 interacts specifically with spastin. Intracellular distribution studies using immunostaining and overexpression of epitope-tagged protein revealed an obvious colocalization of spastin and RTN1 in discrete vesicles in the cytoplasm. Spastin mediates its interaction with RTN1 through its N-terminal region containing a microtubule-interacting and trafficking domain. It is interesting to note that the aberrant intracellular distribution of a truncated spastin protein was rescued by coexpression with RTN1, which highlights the physiological significance of this interaction. Our findings strengthen the hypothesis that disruption of intracellular vesicular transport processes could cause HSP. It is interesting to note that RTN1 is localized to 14q23.1 where SPG15 locus was mapped. Therefore, we considered RTN1 as a candidate gene for the SPG15 locus, but our mutational analysis possibly excludes RTN1 as causative gene. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
